lying about the cost of your tax plan, you're proposed tax reforms. so far you haven't released a lot of specifics about eliminating various loopholes or you've said your tax cuts would be revenue neutral you wouldn't add to the deficit. let's go through how you would do that. specifically home mortgage deductions, charitable mortgage contributions. are you ready to remove those? what's going on? >> well, i've made pretty clear that my prirnls are number one simplify the code. number two, create incentives for small and large businesses to grow. number three, don't reduce the burden on high income taxpayers. and number four, remove the burden somewhat for middle income people. i don't want to raise taxes on any group of americans. those are the principles. at the same time how we carry them out would be lowering the tax rate across the board and making up for that, both with additional growth and with putting a limit on deductions and exemptions, particularly for people at the high end. those are principles which form the bases of what i would do with

what $5 trillion tax cut? i don't know anything about a $5 trillion tax cut. pay no attention to that tax cut under the carpet behind the curtain. when he's asked how he'll cut the deficit, he says he can make the math work by eliminating local public funding for pbs. now, by the way, this is not new. this is what he's been saying every time he's asked the question. well, we can cut out pbs. so for all you moms and kids out there, don't worry. somebody's finally getting tough on big bird. you know, who knew he was driving our deficit? so we're going after -- he's decided we're going after big bird and elmo's making a run for the border and oscar's hiding out in the trash can and governor romney wants wall street to run wild again but bring down the hammer on sesame street. look, that is not leadership. that's salesmanship. we can't afford it. we can't afford to double down on top down economics. we can't afford another round of tax cuts for the wealthy. we can't afford to roll back regulations on wall street banks or on insurance companies. we can't afford to

he wants to raise taxes here. with the hat tricks from romney, you don't know what you're going to get. >> i think grover got into more and you did, van, more substance than we might see tonight. there's going to be all this substance and policy talk, but it's style. these debates are style. which is why my unsolicited advice is to use humor. not zingers. as a comedian, this word zinger offends me. it's so cheesy. and romney's you're entitled to an airplane and a white house, but not your own set of facts. i cringed as did -- come on, grover. you have a good sense of humor. that was a bad one. these script eed zingers, or jokes, we see them coming or packing their bags from a mile away. use your sense of humor in the moment, react to something that just happened and make it look like that was your reaction in realtime and people will be impressed with that. i'm not only talking to joe biden and paul ryan, i'm talking to obama and romney. these guys have sense of humors. maybe ryan is about as funny as a rand novel

[ candidate ] and thanks to every young face i see out there. [ woman ] his phone is one of his biggest supporters.
